Re: ERROR: "Bad Request - Request Too Long" When Signing In To Microsoft 365 Using Work Profiles
joelkino I did eventually find the root cause and did eventually resolve this. Root Cause: When Windows stores your credentials e.g. Edge Work Profiles, OneDrive, Windows sign-in etc., all these credentials are sent through to the website as a (layman's perspective) 'here are a few existing credentials I've got stored, can you use any of them to sign-in automatically?' suggestion to the website. These credentials (tokens?) all end up exceeding some limit on the size/length of a HTTP header field and you get the error. Fix: My fix was probably a bit overkill because I deleted them all (I think I used Windows Credential Manager to do this, could be wrong). You can tell whether a credential is stored because in the Microsoft 365 login prompt pick-from-existing list it will say 'Connected to Windows', mine now just has three. Do check your OneDrive for Business accounts, I was connecting to 8 different tenants, with credentials stored for each, once I signed out and deleted the credentials, Edge Work profiles immediately started working again. Good luck!ERROR: "Bad Request - Request Too Long" When Signing In To Microsoft 365 Using Work Profiles
When the following conditions are true: Using the latest version of Microsoft Edge browser. When the browser is signed in to any Microsoft 365 account. When browsing to any Microsoft 365 website. I receive the following browser error: Bad Request - Request Too Long HTTP Error 400. The size of the request headers is too long. When I sign in to any Work Profile, no matter the account/tenant, the moment I browse to any Microsoft 365 page i.e. any website that redirects via: https://login.microsoftonline.com/, I receive the error above e.g. https://office.com, https://admin.microsoft.com, https://portal.azure.com etc. If I sign-out from the Work Profile, everything works fine (i.e. I am presented with the usual Microsoft 365 sign-in dialogue for username and password, then 2FA code, then the expected page appears), if I then sign-in > browse > error ... sign-out, works fine, sign-in, error etc. ... consistently repeatable. Using 'Browse as Guest' or any 'Personal' or 'Work Profile' without signing in works fine. TROUBLESHOOTING ALREADY CARRIED OUT Deleted/recreated all profiles. Signed in / out multiple accounts on multiple tenants. Sync options > all, some, none. 'Automatic sign in on Microsoft Edge' enabled & disabled. 'Allow single sign-on for work or school sites using this profile' enabled & disabled. 'Automatic profile switching' all options on & all off. Deleted all cache/cookies, from all time in all profiles. Reset settings in all profiles. Completely uninstalled/reinstalled Microsoft Edge (i.e. Safe Mode > delete all files > all profile data> all temp files > all registry entries). Q1 What could cause this error, only when the Work Profile is signed-in? Q2 Aside from syncing settings, how would signing-in to the Work Profile effect OATH requests to https://login.microsoftonline.com/,? Q3 Has anybody experienced this or something like this before? Q4 Are there any troubleshooting steps I haven't tried?Teams Network Assessment Tool Is Good But...
The https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=103017 is very good (kudos to the developers) but it is only good for testing locally at a single client machine. We run an entirely distributed workforce (i.e. no office), how would I test every client machine (without obviously manually installing/running on every client!)? Note: this is a pre-Teams rollout test - no CQD analytics. Any ideas? Maybe a Sysinternals remote deploy/execution or is there a webapp that does the same thing that clients could just visit e.g. the https://connectivity.office.com/ webapp downloads an exe for similar purposes?Re: Sync Free/Busy Between Calendars In The Same Tenant
VasilMichev Many thanks for the advice. I'd rather avoid 3rd party plugins if I can and I managed to achieve this via Power Automate. A bit of a faff to setup (you have to consider create, update and delete actions) but it's done now. My personal calendar now syncs free/busy to my business calendar, and all is well with the world again 😉Sync Free/Busy Between Calendars In The Same Tenant
TL;DR: How to sync free/busy from one calendar (e.g. personal) to another (e.g. business) in the same tenant? I principally use two mailboxes (email & calendar) within my tenant, one for personal use and one for business use. I also use Microsoft Bookings linked to my business calendar. I am finding that people are booking time with me via Microsoft Bookings when I am already busy because the meeting I am busy in is on my personal calendar. How do I send free/busy information from my personal calendar to my business calendar? Microsoft Support have simply said 'this is not possible', but I know that worst case I can use Power Automate to create a 'placeholder' appointment item in one calendar when triggered by an appointment being created in another. But this seems like a right faff! There must be an easier way?Re: Network connectivity test
Never heard of that URL before i.e. 'myfiles.sharpoint.com' Just some random ideas... Have you got the latest version of the https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=103017? Do you get the same error in the https://connectivity.office.com/? The tool has a config file, has this been modified? Try with default config. Good luck.Re: Teams Enhancement Request - OBS Native Support
Teams already supports OBS via NewTek NDI. Just google "Teams NDI" or here're a couple of links to start you off: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/broadcasting-audio-and-video-from-teams-with-ndi-and-sdi-technology-e91a0adb-96b9-4dca-a2cd-07181276afa3#:~:text=and%20SDI%20technology-,Microsoft%20Teams,meeting%20to%20your%20local%20network. and https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/obs-ndi-newtek-ndi%E2%84%A2-integration-into-obs-studio.528/. Hope this helps. Note: this allows you to bring in any Teams stream into OBS.Re: How to Manage External Access for Microsoft Teams Consumer Users
Chatting to other users from a paid for service should be expansive (consumer Teams, Skype, Slack, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger ... bring it on), but not the other way around. That would be a recipe for explosive growth in phishing attacks. I don't believe hackers and other ne'er-do-wells will generally pay for a service to conduct their activities when free options exist e.g. spam email.Re: Opening a File
If you (as far as the desktop app is concerned) created a new file, this excludes cache being the problem. Wrt to your question, I don't know, I just know desktop apps cache the file*. I assume you've checked the other things and found no issues. Maybe a track changes / show markup issue? Some display options only show changes from specific users. Maybe try sharing the file outside of that particular library e.g. OneDrive. Same issue? Desktop app version? Check for updates. Good luck. * this is where the 'recovered file options' come from if the app crashes with a file open i.e. a local cache.
